The car slowed to a stop in front of a modest two-story cottage nestled between dense trees and old garden hedges. The Jensen home was unassuming, faded yellow paint, wooden fence, a wind chime gently clinking in the breeze, but it gave off a quiet warmth that made it feel safe. Like a sanctuary.

Mrs. Jensen stepped out first, waving for them to follow as she opened the creaky gate. “Come in, come in! My husband’s not home right now, he’s working at this hour, but I’ll show you where we hid the madam’s things.”

Cecil’s heart pounded with a mix of anticipation and dread. Mason and Julian exchanged a glance, wordless but alert. They didn’t trust easily, but today, they were running on hope.

Mrs. Jensen led them through a narrow hallway and down a set of stairs hidden behind an old pantry door.

I am the most important person in this Annual Federation Gathering after all.The moment the doors of the limo opened, the night exploded.Camera shutters snapped like gunfire. Flashes burst in rapid succession, turning the hotel entrance into a storm of white light and murmurs. Cameramen surged forward, shouting names, demands to look in their direction, overlapped, voices sharp with hunger for spectacle.Julian stepped out first, composed as ever, his expression unreadable. Sam followed, offering the crowd a polite nod that did nothing to slow the frenzy. Then Jacob emerged, tall and calm, his arm immediately offered to Cecil.

Just enough that I could actually enjoy the day instead of counting the minutes until I could lie down again. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, because today was going to be busy, emotional, and unforgettable.The first thing on my mind wasn’t the decorations or the guests; it was Cecil.I knew her well enough to know she’d be a bundle of nerves by now.‘I’m coming to you,’ I told her through our mindlink. ‘Are you already dressed?’[Oh, thank Goddess! Please hurry!], she replied instantly, the anxiety in her voice making my steps quicken.When I opened the master bedroom door, I found her surrounded by stylists, hairdressers, and makeup artists, all fluttering around her like anxious birds.“Could you please give us a moment?” Cecil said firmly.Everyone immediately filed out, closing the do

    Mason’s POVThe moment I stepped back into the garden, the music softened.Conversations slowed, then stopped altogether.Every eye turned to me.I could feel it, the tension still lingering in the air, the unspoken worry after what they had witnessed earlier. They had seen Aria, their new Luna, collapse. They had seen her carried away. No amount of celebration could erase that fear, especially since my previous Luna died of sickness.I raised one hand, and silence fell completely.“I know you’re all wondering how my Luna is doing,” I said. “I won’t keep you in suspense.”A pause.“Aria is safe.”A collective breath was released.“She fainted earlier, not because of illness, poison, or an attack,” I continued. “She fainted because she is carrying my child.”For a heartbeat, the world froze.Then the garden erupted.Gasps. Shouts. Laughter. Cheers.“Our Luna is pregnant!”“A pup!”“This union is truly blessed by the Goddess!”The worry vanished, replaced by joy so loud and alive it alm

    Mason’s POVThe scent of herbs from Shaman Orun's cleansing ritual still hung thick in the air when the door opened again.“Move.”The pack doctor stepped in, her expression composed but alert. She was a small woman with sharp eyes and an even sharper mind, someone I trusted with lives.She set her bag down immediately and went to Aria’s side. “Luna,” she said gently, placing two fingers on Aria’s wrist, then her neck, listening, watching. “Can you hear me?”My breath hitched when Aria stirred.Her lashes fluttered, and slowly her eyes opened.“Aria,” I breathed, gripping her hand tighter. “You’re here. You’re safe.”She frowned faintly, confusion flickering across her face before recognition settled in. “Mason…”Relief slammed into me so hard my knees almost gave out.The doctor continued her examination, checking Aria’s pupils, blood pressure, and pulse, then paused, her brows knitting together in thought.“Luna,” she said carefully, “I need you to do one thing for me.”Aria nodded

    Mason’s POVFor a few precious hours, everything had felt right.The ceremony. Aria’s smile. The way the pack bowed to her without hesitation. For once, the weight on my shoulders had eased, replaced by something dangerously close to peace.Then reality caught up once the door in my home office closed.“Chairman,” Alisher said, breaking the calm as he handed me a thick folder, “these are the results of the investigation on the accounts listed in the files you retrieved from the Harpers.”I took the documents and flipped through them slowly, line by line, name by name. Each page tightened the knot in my chest. When I reached the last one, I closed my eyes and exhaled heavily.Of course, the enemies had planned it very well...“What else do you have?” I asked, already bracing myself.Julian moved to the projector and switched it on.
